i have a 94 prelude S. its a 4 lug and wondering how i would go about making it a 5 lug. arent prelude SH 5 lug? or s2k? is it just possible to buy SH or s2k cv axles and rotors. would that work?

 

I have a 5 lug conversion on mine off a 01 prelude. It was done before I bought it so Im not sure exactly what you need...I'll ask the previous owner and post up

 

Not only type sh, base model also. But I always wondered what the point of doing this is? why waste money? Buy a new suspension kit instead lol.

 

the reason i wanted to is 5 lug tires are stronger. im wanting to eventually turn my car into a track car. learning everything about it slowly lol. just curious as to what kit i could buy. maybe the dealership would know?

 

I did the 5 lug conversion on my car...

Here are a few links for you to get you started:

copy and paste those links and delete the hyphens and underscores in the prelude power links

That should definitely get you started, when you're done reading through it let just post questions here, someone will surely help you...

I will if i know the answer, but if i dont, i'm sure someone does.

 

I have a pair of Brembo blanks for my 5th gen rear. Never installed because they didn't fit. Might be useful for your conversion.

 

S2K? NO. Stop thinking. You're hurting me.
Axles? Rotors? What the heck does that have to do with Lug pattern?
Yes, you'll need new rotors & calipers though.


DO NOT use the Type-SH SUSPENSION! IT WILL NOT WORK.

If you only use the Hubs from the Type-SH that's fine.

Easiest way to do it, the way I was going to before my car was stolen:
Front: push out the 4thGen Hubs and install the 5thGen Hubs;
Rear: bolt on 5thGen Hubs. You're good too go.

Most people use the front knuckle and everything, that seems unnecessary to me. I did a ton of research forever ago and there's a few quirks doing it that way, but is doable.

Multitude of reasons, and no, not a waste of money.
More wheel options and more brake options are two.

5 lug tires are strong? HUH? There's no such thing as 5 lug tires.

You mean 5 lug wheels? NO. They are not "stronger" just because there's 5 lugs instead of 4 lugs. Why don't you go 6 lugs then, if that made sense.

 

Hundreds of people track 4 lugs cars. Honda wouldn't have used them for 20 years if they weren't strong

 

ok I'm beating the dead horse but ya I have a SH and i have 5 lug sometimes I wish i had 4 lug just cause of the weight I would save with a 15 inch rim but there are not that many 5 lug 15's. But ya like the other guys have said there is plenty of potential with 4 lug there are a ton of wheel companies that design wheels that are just as strong at 15in and 18 in you should just look for reputable companies and find the one that fits your application at 15 or 16 in rim.

If you thinking of going 18 or higher on your wheels you need a different car because that will look stupid on your four lug, not because its four lug but because its a smaller car.

 

I WOULD LIKE AN EXACT MATERAL LIST TO DO THIS SWAP. THE HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

Dlude - the list is out there search for it. if you can not find on HT search on other sites.
